Midnight touch the black hills westward on the runCrimson clouds to the eastward painted by the setting sunOh Jesse drove the pickup I slipped to the radioWith some good time behind us and some good times agoWell we pulled into the station for some water and some gasolineI jumped when I heard sweet Jesse from the pong when she let out of screamOh come here quick I said hon grab your boots and comb your hairDo believe the fellow here's got an old pet dancin' bearDance dance Dakota dance dance until the break of dayMe and sweet Jesse ain't never seen a bear like that dance that wellIt's a one step two step three step fourA bottle of soda and he'll dance some moreDance dance Dakota dance dance around the country store

There was set up camp in the pick up and we stayed a better day or twoMe and my baby are ramblin' around we couldn't think of nothing better to doJesse blow the mouth harp Dakota done the pack and wingI broke all the strings off my Fender guitar and we began to singDance dance Dakota dance...Dance dance Dakota dance dance around the country store
